The article features Australian volunteer nurse Jess Davis's two-month work on board the sea vessel Africa Mercy that was docked in the Central African nation of Cameroon in March 2018. Topics discussed include her communication challenges, her learning of the integrality of family and relationships with health and healing in Africa, and her witnessing of local surgical and pain relief procedures. Also noted are Davis's later gains in perspective and appreciation of her life in Australia.
